"Real world" performance, not so much. It's not as dramatic as the difference from moving from a HDD to a SSD, but after having a NVMe drive in my main PC for a year now, I can tell the difference on things like virus scans, program installs, and it just makes it a little "peppier" when I click on things like browser tabs and such.

For someone like you who just recently moved to a SSD for the first time, my personal recommendation would be to skip moving to a NVMe drive right now, and do it maybe in a few years where the OS and programs really take advantage of the speed.

thank you sir, I understand, and maybe then I can get a 1-2tb for the same price I know, wishful thinking .....

We're not there yet on SSD pricing, but it is definitely a lot better now than it was last year. You can get a quality 1TB for $259 like the Crucial MX500, but I think prices should continue to drop throughout the year. Maybe by the end of 2018, we'll see some 1TB models on sale around $200 again.

Well, we've seen 480GB models of 3D NAND (3D TLC) on sale for ~$100. (Team Group L5 Lite 3D.)

That's the size where many of the sales happen. It's been a bit for 1TB+ drives. But I did see this drive (not the best performer out there though) for $229, so others will likely follow sometime soon:
